Vauxhall cuts Astra Electric and Mokka Electric entry prices with new Design trim
Vauxhall has introduced a new entry-level Design grade for the Astra Electric and Mokka Electric.
On sale now, the trim marks a new starting point to the line-ups, sitting under the GS specification and cutting pricing.
For the recently launched Astra Electric, the new trim brings the opening point down to £37,710, compared to the £39,995 price tag for the GS. The Mokka Design trim is priced at £36,610, as opposed to £38,985 for the GS.
Standard equipment for the Astra Electric Design includes 18-inch bi-colour alloy wheels and Vauxhall’s Pure Panel interior, which features a 10-inch touchscreen with voice-activated satellite navigation and a 10-inch digital instrument cluster. It also features rear parking sensors, keyless start and automatic lights and wipers.
The Mokka Electric Design comes with 17-inch alloy wheels and a 7.0-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. Standard features include rear parking sensors, a panoramic rear-view camera and automatic lights and wipers.
Both models also come with a range of driver aids and safety technologies as standard, including lane departure warning, speed sign recognition, driver drowsiness alert and forward collision alert.
As with all electrified Vauxhall models, the new Design versions are also available with Vauxhall’s ‘Plug & Go’ offer, allowing customers to choose a wallbox from one of Vauxhall’s three approved national suppliers and spread the cost across the length of their finance agreement. Other Plug & Go benefits include eight years’ roadside assistance, an eight-year battery warranty, and an Octopus Electroverse card, providing access to over half a million public chargers across the UK and Europe.
The Mokka Electric Design comes with a 136hp electric motor and a 50kWh lithium-ion battery which delivers range of up to 209 miles (WLTP).
The Astra Electric Design is powered by a 54kWh lithium-ion battery and 156hp electric motor, with up to 258 miles of range.
Deliveries for the Astra Electric Design and Mokka Electric Design start from January 2024.
